Go compare his stats to Sellers . People here say Sellers can’t throw but their comp% are pretty much identical. Actually Sellers was 5 points higher last year . Just saying.

I like Sellers athletic profile a lot better. I think Leavitt is a better fit for what Dawson wants to do. I prefer JKS to both of those guys but Leavitt, to me, feels like he'd have a better shot to succeed under this staff.

JKS is my top guy but I heard his number he’s making at Cal so I’m not sure he’ll enter

this guy? 61% completion percentage, not a good stat if you like accuracy as you say you do. faired poorly against stiff competition, not sure SDSU is stiff, but semi-hard

Yup - I've heard similar.

Feel like it'll come down to the investment Cal makes around him. Their OL is awful (I think he's been sacked almost 30 times). Pretty weak skill positions with their top guys being Seniors. Defense is another story, as they seem to get coached up, but weak in the trenches.

Bailey behind our line would be tremendous. Basically Beck but with a bigger arm and when it's not there he can just take off. But he can sit in a pocket and hit open receivers.

With a kid like Sellers, the ceiling is probably higher but you have to change your entire offense to tailor it to his skills. Do we have the personnel to run what we need to run with Sellers? One thing I'll say is assuming Dawson is still here, he did have Clayton Tune running all over the place his last year at Houston.

But I think Bailey is a much more natural progression for what this offense wants to do. Big arm, very accurate, and wants to sit in the pocket and throw the ball first and foremost.

I like Bailey because I think his play will only continue to elevate once the talent around him elevates. Put Bailey behind our OL and surround him with Mali, Moore, Trader and watch what happens. Bailey will find the open guy, if not he has the ability to extend plays or even run for a first down. I'm also a fan of the hometown kid returning home. Not to forget, Bailey has a winning pedigree kid had won at all levels prior to going to that dumpster fire called NC State.


Sellers has elite mobility but can't throw with accuracy at a proficient level. Leavitt doesn't have "it" and tends to be hit or miss at times with his arm. JKS is young and will have growing pains but his arm is elite. JKS also lacks Bailey or Leavitt's mobility.

I’ve watched that guy from his first start. He’s absolutely incredible . A freshmen qb doing what he’s doing surrounded by awful talent yet still dropping absolute dimes. Once again he’s a true freshmen.

Most Fr qb’s can’t play this well in positions like this. Super mature , accurate as **** especially with the wr’s and OL , high IQ and lastly a great kid that has his crap together. He’s a no brainer. Btw I said the same things about Mendoza last year.

Oh and 323 2 TD 0 int against UL. Now go compare that to our 23 year old veteran who’s started a million games.

Between Sellers, Leavitt, and random thick girl from cow country, who would you bet on in the Dr. Pepper halftime throw the football in the trashcan game?

long way of saying there very little out there that has a wow factor (I agree)

The Cam Ward stuff was weird. People claimed no one knew how good he was but anyone that saw him throw a football once at Washington St could see his arm talent was special. You bet on that

With this group only “special” trait is Sellers running ability so that’s already a risk

Leavitt im sure would win us a lot of games. A lot of QBs would. I wouldn’t hate it but wouldn’t celebrate it either. He’s just a gamer type with no standout traits

I get why people like Bailey despite how he looked against us
